DON’T READ THIS PAGE! 


For if you do, you will learn that this is the third 
Edition of this work, and that all who have read and 
used the book consider it remarkably cheap , a good 
advertising medium, and almost indispensable; and 
also, that we have enlarged the work more than one- 
third, and reduced the price about one-quarter. 

If you read this page you will be apt to read more, 
and you will be very likely to speak of it to your wife 
and children, and they will tell it to the neighbors. 
This may create a rush, and we may have so many 
calls for the work, as to oblige us to print other edi¬ 
tions, which would subject us to extra labor and ex¬ 
pense. 

But as the book speaks for itself, if you will read this 
page , you may as well examine the work throughout, 
from title-page to advertisements, as it challenges in¬ 
vestigation; and if then it meets your approval, we 
shall be happy to supply all orders.

INTRODUCTION TO THE GLOBE. 

“ Geography is a description of the Earth,” one fourth of which is 
land and the rest water. The Northern Hemisphere has three times as 
much land as the Southern, and the Western two and a half times less 
than the Eastern. Of the Grand Divisions, Europe is most deeply in¬ 
dented by the ocean, which gives it the greatest extent of sea-coast, in 
proportion to its size.; while Africa presents an almost unbroken outline. 
North America ranks second in proportionate sea-coast, while South 
'l merica more nearly resembles Africa. 

Islands may be divided into two classes, continental and oceanic. Most 
of the elevated oceanic isles ate of volcanic origin. Many of the isles of 
thp sea are formed by the coral insect, which exists in the tropical seas. 

Mountains are generally in chains or ranges, often extending many 
hundred miles. In America, the greatest chain of mountains is on the 
Pacific const, while in the Eastern Continent, an immense chain stretches 
from Behring’s Straits to Gibraltar. West of the Rocky Mountains is the 
Cascade Range, with its continuation, the Sierra Nevada. This Range 
skirts the western coast of the United Slates, while the Alleghanies arc near 
the Atlantic. Europe, Asia, and Africa, have their various chains of 
mountains, with plateaus and table lands. 

Volcanic eruptions and earthquakes are supposed to be caused by the 
action of the internal fires of the earth, to winch volcanoes serve as vents. 
Most of these are found on islands, or near the coasts, and they are found 
in every latitude. Lofty volcanoes are less frequent in their eruptions, 
with long intervals of rest, while those of less elevation, like Stromt oli, 
from their constant activity, serve as permanent beacons to the mariner. 
The hot springs of Iceland, and fire-hills of China, may be attributed to 
similar causes. The great force of volcanic action is seen in the elevation 
and depression of portions of the earth, forming new islands and moun¬ 
tains. A new island has appeared, within a century past, among the 
Azores, one on the coast of Sicily, and another near Iceland, all of which 
soon disappeared; while two added to the Aleutian group, between 
America and Kamschatka, have stood firm. The coast of Chili was 
raised several feet by the great earthquake of 1885, and in 1755 the quay 
at Lisbon suddenly sunk 100 fathoms under water. 

The Ocean, or great sea, has five gieat divisions, the Atlantic, Pacific, 
the Arctic, Antarctic, and the Indian Ocean, The bed of the ocean is di¬ 
versified with mountains, plains, and valleys, varying from a few feet to 
several miles. The waters of the ocean are in constant agitation, which 
preserves their purity. T''C tides are supposed to be Caused by the at- 



10 


traction of the sun and moon, the influence of the former being about one 
third of the latter. The heights of the tides are various. At St. Malo, on 
the north coast of France, the tides sometimes rise 50 feet, and in the 
Hay of Fundy 70 feet, at London 19 feet, at New York about 6 feet, at St. 
Helena 3 feet. Ocean currents are like streams in the midst of the ocean. 
They may bo classed as constant, periodical, and variable. As the intense 
heat at the equator causes a greater amount of evaporation, the colder 
waters at the poles descend to supply the deficiency. As these waters 
advance from the polar seas to those parts where the surface of the earth 
revolves with increased rapidity, they are unable at once to acquire this 
rotary motion, and the current sets backward, or toward the west, and it 
is greatly modified and interrupted by the land, and by prevalent winds. 

The great equatorial current originates in the Antarctic current, which, 
with a natural tendency to the equator, and as yet but little affected by 
the motion of the earth, is driven by westerly winds towards the coast of 
South America. Here a part flows onward, around Cape Horn, while the 
main current continues along the coast, but soon it sets westward, and 
crosses the Pacific. Again interrupted and divided, a part flows into the 
Indian Ocean, passes around the north end of Madagascar, and enters the 
Atlantic by the Cape current. The Atlantic equatorial current divides off 
Cape St. Roque ; the principal branch taking a north-west course through 
the Caribbean Sea, into the Gulf of Mexico, where the Gulf Stream orig¬ 
inates. This remarkable current flows along the coast of North America 
to Newfoundland, when it crosses the Atlantic with increased breadth, 
but diminished speed. Reaching the Azores, it turns south and rejoins 
the equatorial current, while an important branch continues onward to 
the polar seas, carrying with it the warm waters of the Gulf. These cur¬ 
rents exert an influence upon the climate of the coast. In summer the 
Arctic currents bring icebergs to the margin of the Gulf Stream, while the 
latter, spreading its heated waters over the Atlantic, renders the climate 
of North-western Europe mild and moist. The bodies of an unknown race 
of men, carried by the Gulf Stream to the Azores, furnished to Columbus 
indications of land beyond the Atlantic. 

The basin of the Ocean, comprehends not only the bed which contains 
the water, but also the land drained bv the rivers that flow into it. All 
rivers which reach the ocean are called oceanic. Those which flow into 
lakes, with no outlet, are called continental rivers. The importance of a 
river is not always proportionate to its size, but the depth and breadth of 
its channel. 

Lakes are generally large bodies of fresh water, and arc most numer¬ 
ous in high latitudes. The Caspian Sea, the largest salt lake, is eighty- 
three feet below the level of the ocean ; while Great Salt Lake, the largest 
in America, is elevated 4,200 feet, and the Dead Sea is 1,312 feet below tbo 
Mediterranean. Of those which both receive and discharge their waters, 
Lake Superior is the largest. The deserts of Sahara, and Cobi, the pla¬ 
teau of Arabia, and the centre of Australia, arc the principal waterless dis 
tricts of the earth. 

The air. or atmosphere we breathe, surrounds the earth to the height ol 
45 or 50 miles. Though invisible, its weight is fifteen pounds to the.square 
inch. The air becomes more subtle, or thin, as we ascend ; as the lower 
portion receives the pressure of the upper. Extreme rarefaction renders 
respiration impossible, making it difficult to ascend high mountains. The 
atmosphere receives its heat from the eurih, and not from the sun direct, 
therefore the heat decreases as we ascend, hence, perpetual snow on the 
tops of tho mountains. Wind, is air in motion. Ilent expands and 


11 


makes it lighter. Cold contracts and makes it heavier. Hence, heated 
air ascends, and is drawn toward the poles from th'equator, and the cold 
heavy air rushes along the surface to supply its place. These polar cur¬ 
rents, like those of the ocean, are turned from their direct course by the 
rotary motion of the earth ; one becoming a north-cast wind before it 
reaches the Tropic of Cancer, the other a south-east wind before it comes 
to the Tropic of Capricorn. These winds, in the open ocean, blow con¬ 
stantly in the same direction, and are called trade winds. Land and sea 
breezes are caused by the unequal temperature of the land and sea ; the 
land being hotter by day than the water, and colder at night. Hurricanes, 
tornadoes, and whirlwinds are caused bv sudden changes in temperature. 
The principal regions for these are the West Indies, Indian Ocean, and the 
China Sea. The accurate knowledge of the wind and ocean currents, is of 
the utmost importance in Navigation. In sailing from the east to the west, 
a seaman would take advantage of the trade winds and equatorial current, 
and returning would avoid them. 

Vapors, caused by the action of the sun, rise from all waters, and are 
condensed by the cool air, and rise in dews, fogs, or clouds, and fall in rain, 
snow, or hail. Between the Tropics, snow is found only on the tops of 
very high mountains; beyond them it descends to the sea level; while 
in the polar regions perpetual ice and snow cover the earth. Also at cer¬ 
tain heights in all latitudes, eternal snow exists. Glaciers are immense 
lields of ice and snow, frozen after being partially tricked. Many large 
rivers originate in the glaciers of high mountains, and as they descend 
gradually beyond the snow line, they afford never-failing supplies of water. 

Avalanches are fragments of glaciers broken off during their descent, 
or huge drifts of snow forced from their resting-place by the drifting 
winds. Icebergs are huge masses of ice detached by the waves from 
the glaciers of the Polar seas. In the Temperate Zones, rain is more 
abundant on the western coasts than on the eastern, because the prevail¬ 
ing westerly currents of air are ocean winds to the former, and land winds 
to the latter. The earth may be divided into regions of periodical rains, 
regions of frequent rains, and the rainless regions. In the zone of calms, 
at the meeting of the trade winds, rain falls almost incessantly. The 
rainless districts are most extensive on the Eastern Continent, where they 
include the Deserts of Sahara, Arabia, Persia, andCobi; a part of Egypt, 
and the table land of Thibet. In America tiiev are Central America, 
Lower Califoi| 3 ia, the table land of Mexico, the Desert of Atacama, and 
that part of Peru west of the Andes. Tims we see, the atmosphere 
supplies the land with water from the ocean, and other bodies, as vapors 
constantly risinsr and borne by the winds are condensed and either fall in 
rains, or converted to ice and snow form glaciers, which feed the moun¬ 
tain torrents. Part of the descending rains penetrate the earth, and burst 
forth in springs and rivulets, and become the sources of the great rivers, 
whose waters flow on and mingle again with the ocean. 

The climate of a country, comprehends the temperature, the moisture, 
or the dryness of the air; its salubrity, or unhealthfulness. In the 
Tropics, the traveler has every variety of climate in the same latitude, of 
which the low coasts, elevated plains, and snow-capped mountains of 
Mexico, afford a good illustration. The relative position of mountains, 
and plains, combined with the prevalent winds, is one of tire most im¬ 
portant influences affecting climate. The warm, moist winds of the 
Indian Ocean sweep over the plains of Southern Asia, but are interrupted 
by the Himalayas, and the lorty chains in China. Beyond these are the 
niicless de-erts of Central Asia, while the northern plains are bDak arid 


cold, "because no mountain range protects them from the polar winds. The 
South American plains are swept by the Atlantic trade winds, whose 
vapors are all condensed and distributed before they reach the Andes. 
No high mountains hinder the warm, moist south-west winds from the 
Gulf Stream. In the United States, the Sierra Nevada precipitates 
all the moisture left in the south-west wind, after it passes the coast 
range, and sends it into Utah, warm and dry. The nature of the soil has 
great influence on the climate of a country. A sandy soil admits of a 
much higher degree of heat than a clayey soil, while marshes, and wood¬ 
land, lowers the temperature. 

Moisture and heat are the two most favorable conditions of vegetation. 
Hence the contrast between the tropics and poles. Plants are widely 
distributed by the winds, and by cultivation. For example, the potato, so 
extensively cultivated, is n native of Chili, South America. But it has 
been introduced into Iceland, where tl.e bread grains will not grow. 

Animals, like plants, are to a certain extent limited in their range, by 
inequalities of temperature. The Reindeer of Lapland, is never found in 
Europe, south of the Baltic; or in America south of the St. Lawrence, 
and yet, by man, animals have been widely distributed. Animal life is 
found more abundant in the tropics of the Eastern Continent, while 
vegetable productions are more abundant in the Western Continent. In 
South America, animals which depend upon moisture and vegetation are 
most abundant, such as insects of great size and brilliancy ; and alligators, 
lizards, and enormous serpents, which abound in the forests and marshes. 
Animals of a higher order are less in number and size. 

Mankind may be classed by races, as follows: The Caucasian, the 
Mongolian, the Ethiopian, the Malay, and the American. The American 
includes the aboriginal tribes of America, the Esquimaux excepted. The 
Malay, or brown race, comprises the natives of Malaysia, Malacca, New 
Zealand, and Polynesia, and the Ovahs of Madagascar. The Ethiopian or 
black race, comprises all the natives of Africa, south of Sahara, and 
Abyssinia: all the natives of Australia, except New Zealand; several 
tribes of Malaysia, and Madagascar, and the natives of the Fejee Islands. 
The Mongolian, o? yellow race, includes all the natives of Europe, except 
the Finns, Turks, Magyars and Laplanders ; the Esquimaux of North 
America, the Siberian and Tartar tribes, the Japanese and Chinese, and 
all the natives of Farther India, except those of Malacca. The Caucasian, 
or white race, embrace all the rest. ^ 

-—-- 

A Golden Thought.— We know not the author of the following, but 
it is pretty : Nature will be reported. All things are engaged in writing 
their history. The planet, the pebble, goes attended by its shadow. 
The rolling rock leaves its scratches on the mountain, the river its chan¬ 
nels, in the soil, the animal its bones in the stratum, the fern and leaf 
their modest epitaph in the coal. The falling drop makes its sculpture in 
sand or the stone; not a foot steps into the snow, or along the ground, 
but prints its characters more or less lasting, a man of its march"; every 
act of man inscribes itself on the memories of his fellows, and in his 
own face. The air is full of sounds—the sky of tokens ; the ground is 
ail memoranda and signatures, and every object is covered over with 
hints, which speak to the intelligent. 

Nature’s Jewels.— Take hut a single drop of rain cloistered in the 
green fold of a blade of grass, and pour upon it one ray of the morning 
hud, where will you set a lapidary, with his utm >st skill,'to cut a diamond 
that will shine like that ?

DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE. 


'Wirttf, in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one 
people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with 
another, and to assume, among the powers of the earth, the separate and 
equal station to which th^ laws of nature and nature’s God entitle them, 
a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should do- 
clare the causes which impel them to the separation. 

We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men are created equal; 
that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights; 
that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. That to 
secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their 
just powers from the consent of the governed: that whenever any form 
of governrinent becomes destructive of these ends, it is the right of the 
people to alter or to abolish it, and to institute a new government, laying 
its foundation on such principles, and organizing its powers in such form 
as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety and happiness. 
Prudence, indeed, will dictate that governments long established should 
not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experi¬ 
ence hath shown that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are 
sufferable, than to right themselves, by abolishing the forms to which 
they are accustomed. Put when a long train of abuses and usurpations, 
pursuing invariably the same object, evinces a design to reduce them 
under absolute despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off’ 
such government, and to provide new guards for their future security. 
Such has been the patient sufferance of these colonies, and such is now 
the necessity which constrains them to alter their former systems of 
government. The history of the present king of Great Britain is a history 
of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the estab¬ 
lishment of an absolute tyranny over these States. To prove this, let facta 
be submitted to a candid world : 

He has refused his assent to laws the most wholesome and necessary 
for the public good. 

He has forbidden his governors to pass laws of immediate and press¬ 
ing importance, unless suspended in their operation till his assent should 
be obtained; and when so suspended, he has utterly neglected to attend 
to them. He has refused to pass other laws lor the accommodation of largo 
districts of people, unless those people would relinquish the right of re¬ 
presentation in the legislature—aright inestimable to them, and formi¬ 
dable to tyrants only. 

He lias called together legislative bodies at places unusual, uncomfort¬ 
able, and distant from the. repository of the public records, for the sole 
purpose of fatiguing them into compliance with his measures. 

fie has dissolved representative houses repeatedly for opposing, with 
manly firmness, his invasions on the rights of the people. 

He has refused for a long time after such dissolution, to cause others 
to be elected ; whereby the legislalive powers, incapable of annihilation, 
have returned to the "people at large for their exercise, the State remain¬ 
ing, in tiie mean time, exposed to all the dangers of invasion from with¬ 
out and convulsions wjthin. 

He has endeavored to prevent the population of these States: for that 
purpose obstructing the laws of naturalization of foreigners ; refusing to 
pass others to encourage their migration hither, and raising the conditions 
of new appropriations of lands. 

He has obstructed the administration of justice by refusing his assent 
to laws for establishing judiciary powers. 


16 


Ho has made judges dependent on his will alone for the tenure of 
their offices and the amount and payment of their salaries. 

He has erected a multitude of new offices, and sent hither swarms of 
officers to harass our people, and eat out their substance. 

He lias kept among us, in times of peace, standing armies, without the 
consent of our legislatures. 

lie has affected to render t’ae military independent of and superior to 
the civil power. 

He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to 
our Constitution, and unacknowledged by our laws; giving his assent to 
vheir acts of pretended legislation: 

For quartering large bodies of armed troops among us.: . • 

For protecting them by a mock trial from punishment for any 
murders which they should commit on the inhabitants of tlies.e States: 

For cutting off our trade with all parts of the world: 

For imposing taxes on us without our consent: 

For depriving us, in many cases, of the benefits of trial by jury: 

For transporting us beyond seas to be tried for pretended offenses : 

For abolishing the free system of English laws in a neighboring pro¬ 
vince, establishing therein an arbitrary government, and enlarging its 
boundaries, so as to render it at once an example and St instrument for 
introducing the same absolute rule into these colonies: 

For taking away our charters, abolishing our most valuable laws, and 
altering, fundamentally, the forms of our government: 

For suspending our own legislatures, and declaring themselves invested 
with power to legislate for us in all cases whatsoever. 

lie has abdicated government here, by declaring us out of his protec¬ 
tion, and waging war against us. 

He has plundered our seas, ravaged our coasts, burnt our towns, and 
destroyed the lives of our people. 

lie is at this time transporting large armies of foreign mercenaries to 
complete the works of death, desolation, and tyranny already begun, with 
circumstances of cruelty and perfidy scarcely paralleled in the most bar¬ 
barous ages, and totally unworthy the head of a civilized nation. 

He lias constrained our fellow-citizens, taken captive on the high seas, 
to bear arms against their country, to become the executioners of their 
friends and brethren, or to fall themselves by their hands. 

lie has exciied domestic insurrections among us, and has endeavored 
to bring on the inhabitants of our frontiers the merciless Indian savages, 
whose known rule of warfare is an undistinguished destruction of all 
ages, sexes, and conditions. 

In every stage of these oppressions we have petitioned for redress in 
the most humble terms ; our repeated petitions have been answered only 
by repeated injury. A prince whose character is thus marked by every 
act which may define a tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people. 

Nor have we been wanting in attentions to our British brethren. We 
have warned them, from time to time, of attempts by their legislature to 
extend an unwarrantable jurisdiction over us. We have reminded them 
of the circumstances of our emigration and settlement here. We have 
appealed to their native justice and magnanimity, and we have conjured 
them bv the ties of our common ki ldred to disavow these usurpations, 
which would inevitably interrupt our connections and correspondence. 
They, too, have been deaf to the voice of justice and consanguinity. We 
must, therefore, acquiesce in the necessity which denounces our separation, 
and hold them, as we hold the rest of mankind, enemies in war, in peace 
friends. 1 


17 


We, therefore, the representatives of the United States of America, in 
General Congress assembled, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the 
world for the rectitude of our intentions, do, in the name and by the au¬ 
thority of the good people of these colonies, solemnly publish and declare, 
that these United Colonies are, and of right ought to be, free and inde¬ 
pendent States; that they are absolved from all allegiance to the British 
crown, and that all political connection between them and the State of 
Great Britain is, and ought to be, totally dissolved ; and that, as free and 
independent States, they have full power to levy war, conclude peace, 
contract alliances, establish commerce, and to do all other acts and things 
whieh independent States may of right do. And for the support of this 
declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of Divine Providence, 
we mutually pledge to each other our lives, our fortunes, and our sacred 
honor.

The Rev. Dr. Kendall, who recently returned from an official visit to 
California, communicated the following incident: “A poor little bov 
brought to the Sanitary Fair, held at Marysville, a white chicken, which 
was all he had to offer, saying it might make some broth for a poor, sick 
soldier. He had decked his little offering with ribbon of ‘ red, white and 
blue, 1 but he had no money to pay the entrance fee, and was rejected at 
the door. As he passed down the street, a gentleman seeing liis distress, 
listened to his story, gave him a ticket, and sent him in. The simplicity 
of a child and the beauty of the offering attracted attention, and the 
chicken was put up at auction and sold for four hundred dollars in gold 
for the Sanitary Commission.” 


Sensible Proposition. —A prisoner in jail lately sent to his creditors 
the following proposal, which he believed would be for their mutual 
benefit: 

“ I have been thinking that it is very bad for me to lie here and put 
you to expense. My being so chargeable to you has given me great un¬ 
easiness. God knows what it may cost you in the end. Therefore, what 
I would say is this: You let me out of prison, and instead of nine shil¬ 
lings, you shall allow me only seven shillings a week, and the other two 
shillings shall go towards the debt!” 

A man, says Goethe, should hear a little music, read a little poetry and 
sec a line picture every day of Ills life, in order that worldly cares and 
duties may not obliterate the sense of the Beautiful which God has 
implanted’in the human soul.

CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES. 

'WK, the People of the United States, in order to form a more perfect 
union, establish justice, insure domestic tranquillity, provide for the 
common defence, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings 
of liberty to ourselves arid our posterity, do ordain and establish this 
Constitution for the United States of America. 

Article I. Of the Legislature. — Section 1.— All legislative powers 
herein granted, shall be vested in a Congress of the United States, which 
shall consist qf a Senate and House of Representatives. 

§ 2.—1. The House of Representatives shall be composed of members 
chosen every second year by the people of the several States; and the 
electors in each State shall have the qualifications requisite for electors of 
the most numerous branch of the State legislature. 

2. No person shall be a representative who shall not have attained to 
the age of twenty-five years, and been seven years a citizen of the United 
States, and who shall not, vvheu elected, be an inhabitant of that State in 
which he shall be chosen. 

3. Representatives and direct taxes shall be apportioned among the 
several States which may be-included within this Union, according to 
their respective numbers, which shall be determined by adding to the 
whole number of free persons, including those bound to service fora term 
of years, and excluding Indians not taxed, three fifths of all other per¬ 
sons. The actual enumeration.shall be made within three years after the 
first meeting of the Congress of the United States, and within every sub¬ 
sequent term of ten years, in such manner as they shall by law direct. The 
number of representatives shall not exceed one for every thirty thousand, 
but each State shall have at least one representative; and until such 
enumeration shall be made, the State of New Hampshire shall be entitled 
to choose three; Massachusetts, eight; Rhode Island and Providence 
Plantations, one ; Connecticut, five; New York, six; New Jersey, four; 
Pennsylvania, eight; Delaware, one; Maryland, six; Virginia, ten ; North 
Carolina, five; South Carolina, five; and Georgia, three. 

4. When vacancies happen in the representation from any State, the 
executive authority thereof shall issue writs of election to fill up such 
vacancies. 

5. The House of Representatives shall choose their speaker and other 
officers, and shall have the sole power of impeachment. 

§ 3.—1. The Senate of the United States shall be composed of two 
senators from each State, chosen by the legislature thereof for six years; 
and each senator shall have one vote. 

2. Immediately after they shall be assembled in consequence of the 
first election, they shall be divided ns equally as may be into three classes. 
The seats of the senators of the first class shall bo vacated at the expira¬ 
tion of the second year, of the second class at the expiration of the fourth 
year, and of the third class at the expiration of the sixth year, so that one 
third may be chosen every second year; and if vacancies happen, by res¬ 
ignation or otherwise, during the recess of the Jegislaturo of any State, 
the executive thereof may make temporary appointments until the next 
meeting of the legislature, which shall then fill such vacancies. 

3. No person shall be a senator who shall not have attained to the 
age of thirty years, and been nine years a citizen of the United States, and 
who shall not, when elected, bo an inhabitant of that State for which ho 
shall be chosen. 

4. The Vice-President of the United States shall be president of th* 
Senate, but shall have no vote unices they be oqually divided. 


20 


5. The Senate shall choose their other officers, and also a preside* t 
pro tempore in the absence of the Vice-President, or when he shall exer¬ 
cise the office of President of the United States. 

6. The Senate shall have the sole power to try all impeachments. 
When sitting for that purpose, they shall he on oath or affirmation. When 
the President of the United States is tried, the chief justice shall preside : 
and no person shall be convicted without the concurrence of two thirds 
of the members present. 

7. Judgment in eases of impeachment shall not extend further than 
to removal from office, and disqualification to hold and enjoy any office 
of honor, trust, or profit under the United States ; hut the party convicted 
shall nevertheless he liable and subject to indictment, trial, judgment, and 
punishment, according to law. 

§ 4.—1. The times, places, and manner of holding elections for sena¬ 
tors and representatives shall be prescribed in each State by the legislature 
thereof; but the Congress may at any time, by law, make or alter such 
regulations, except as to the place of choosing senators. 

2. The Congress shall assemble at least once in every year; and such 
meeting shall be on the first Monday in December, unless they shall by 
law appoint a different day. 

§ 5.—1. Each house shall be the judge of the elections, returns and 
qualifications of its own members, and a majority of each shall constitute 
a quorum to do business ; but a smaller number may adjourn from day to 
day, and may be authorized to compel the attendance of absent members, 
in such manner and under such penalties as each house may provide. 

2. Each house may determine the rule of its proceedings, punish its 

members for disorderly behavior, and with the concurrence of two thirds, 
expel a member. ^ 

3. Each house shall keep a journal of its pro&edings, and from time 
to time publish the same, excepting such parts asmtiay in their judgment 
require secrecy; and the yeas and nays of the members of either 
house on any question shall, at the desire of one fifth of those present, bo 
entered on the journal.

HISTORY OF THE AMERICAN FLAG. 

The Idea of Standards originated with the Egyptian?, at an early ago. 
The crusaders added the cross to their banners.- The union of the three 
crosses of St. George, St. Andrew, and St. Patrick, marks, first the union 
of England and Scotland, into the Kingdom of Great Britain ; and then, 
this Kingdom with Ireland. This is termed, the Great Union Flag of 
Great Britain, and was brought by the Colonists to America. When the 
Thirteen Colonies began to feel the pressure of British rule, they placed 
upon their banners a rattlesnake, cut in 13 pieces, representing the Thir¬ 
teen Colonies, with the motto, “ Join or die l 11 When these Colonies be¬ 
came more united in their purposes of resistance to British tyranny, they 
placed upon their flag a well formed rattlesnake, in the attitude of About 
to Strike, with the motto, “ Don't tread on me I” 

Dr. Franklin, seeing this emblem on one of the drums of that day, 
writes as follows: “ On inquiry, and from study, I learned that the an¬ 
cients considered the serpent an emblem of wisdom, and in some atti¬ 
tudes of endless duration. Also, that countries are often represented by 
animals peculiar to that country. The Rattlesnake is found nowhere but 
in America. Her eye is exceedingly bright, and without eyelids; emblem 
of vigilance. She never begins an attack, and she never surrenders; 
emblem of magnanimity, and courage. She never wounds, even her 
enemies, till she generously gives them warning not to tread on her; 
which is emblematical of the spirit of the people who inhabit her country. 
She appears apparently weak and defenceless, but her weapons are never¬ 
theless formidable. Her poison is the necessary means for the digestion 
of her food, but certain destruction to her enemies; showing the power 
of American resources. Her 13 rattles, the only part which increases in 
number, are distinct from each other, and yet so united, that they cannot 
be disconnected without breaking them to pieces; showing the impossi¬ 
bility of an American Republic, without a Union of States. A single 
rattle will give no sound alone, but the ringing of the 13 together is suffi¬ 
cient to startle the boldest man alive. She is beautiful in youth, which 
increaseth with her age. Her tongue is forked as the lightning, and her 
abode is among the impenetrable rocks.” 

The next form of the American Flag, was the Stars and Stripes ; one 
of the most beautiful emblems of any country. Its proportions are per¬ 
fect when properly made ; the first and last stripe being red, with alter¬ 
nate stripes of white. 

The blue field for the stars, is the square of the width of seven stripes. 
Long may it wave untarnished. He that would erase one stripe, or dim 
one star, “acts a traitor’s part, and deserves a traitor’s doom.” 

The first battle fought by the American forces, under a banner symbol* 
izing their cause, was at Hunker Hill. This was a red flag, bearing the 
motto : “ Come if yon dare /” On that memorable occasion the red coats 
dared to come, but did not dare to stay. 

The Stars and Stripes were unfurled, for the first time, at the battle of 
Saratoga, on the occasion of the surrender of Gen. Burgoyne. 

On the 14th of June, 1777, the Continental Congress resolved, “that 
the flag of the United States be 13 Stripes, alternate red and white, and 
that the Union he 18 white stars on a blue field, representing a new Con¬ 
stellation.” Previous t.o this, our National banner was the Union Flag, 
combining the crosses of St. George and St. Andrew. 

The Stars of the Flag represent the idea taken from the Constellation 
Lyra, which signifies harmony. The blue of the field was taken from 


the banner of the Covenanters of Scotland, likewise significant of the 
league and covenant of the United Colonies against oppression, and inci¬ 
dentally involving vigilance, perseverance, and justice. The Stars were 
disposed in a circle, symbolizing the perpetuity of the Union, the circle 
being the sign of eternity. Both the 13 stripes and the stars showed the 
number of the United Colonies, and denoted the subordination of the 
States to, and their dependence upon, the Union, as well as equality 
among themselves. The whole was a blending of the previous banners, 
viz: the red flag of the army, and white one of the navy. The red color, 
which in the days of Homan glory was the signal of defiance, denoted 
during, and the white purity. 

On the 13th of «Jan., 1794, by an act of Congress, the flag was altered 
to 15 red and white stripes, and 15 stars. On the 4th of April, 1818, 
Congress again altered the flag by returning to the original 13 stripes and 
15 stars, as the adding of a new stripe for each additional state would soon 
make the flag too unwieldy. The new star is added to the flag on the 4th 
of July following the admission of each state into the Union. The Amer¬ 
ican Standard planted in the city of Mexico, at the close of the Mexican 
war, bore 30 stars; that of July 4th, 1SG5, at the close of the Great Ke- 
bellion, bears 30. 

What eloquence is breathed in this glorious and time honored flag ! 
It seems as if Jehovah had clipped a portion of it from the blue starry 
vault above us, and uniting this with the stripes of white and red denot¬ 
ing purity and bravery, had left it as a perpetual legacy to stimulate the 
Nation. May the breezes of heaven perpetually fill its graceful folds, 
whether planted above impregnable fortresses, or borne aloft o’er the 
rolling billow, or by the strong arm of Columbia’s brave sons against the 
foe, speaking of the “ land of the free and the home of the brave ”— 
a warning alike to traitors at liome and tyrants abroad.

WASHINGTON AND LINCOLN. 

“ Honor id 

Virtue’s allowed ascent; honor that clasps 
Ail-perfect justice in her arms ; that craves 
No more respect than what she gives ; that does 
Nothing but what she’ll suffer.” 

W ith such honors would we embalm the memory of the Father and the 
Redeemer of our country. 

George Washington was born in Virginia, and early trained a soldier, 
under the moral and religious culture of a devoted mother. Abraham 
Lincoln was a native of Kentucky, a humble farmer’s boy, motherless at 
the age of nine years, left to the care of Providence. 

Cheerfulness, dignity, and sound judgment , were the prominent charac¬ 
teristics of Washington; while (equally upright and true), the deep- 
rooted principles of Lincoln were often happily exhibited by wit and 
pleasantry. 

The character of Washington was brought out and reflected in tho 
stirring patriotic tires of the Revolution; but Lincoln’s character was 
developed amid the muttering thunders of treason and disunion. 

The way to the Chair of State in the one case, was by a royal road, 
strewn with roses; to the other, the goal must be reached by running 
the gauntlet. 

The official acts of President Washington closed gently, by the expira¬ 
tion of his term of office ; those of Lincoln terminated so abruptly that his 
death shocked the world. 

Washington, when he had fought his battles, reposed upon Ins laurels, 
and passed away by natural disease, in his quiet home; Lincoln fell by 
the deadly recoil of the vanquished fiend of secession, while the smoke 
of the battle was still on the mountain side, with the shout of victory 
ringing in his ears. 

In the peaceful deatli of Washington, like the fading of the morning 
star, his name may possibly be forgotten; but the blow of the assassin, 
like the last thunderbolt of the retreating storm, lias rendered the name 
of Lincoln immortal. Washington, a child of fortune, who seemed born 
to greatness, saw the shackles of foreign aristocracy broken, and lived till 
the whole world was at peace with him. Lincoln, a child of Providence, 
strangely led from obscurity to the loftiest height of honor, at one stroke 
unfettered 4,000,000 of bondsmen, and like Samson, slew more enemies 
• at 1)is deatli than in all his life. 

Washington may be compared to the early spring flower, blooming in 
the well cultivated garden, amid nature’s smiles; Lincoln, to the flower 
that sends out its beauty and fragrance among the crags, and cliffs, and 
eternal snows of the Alpine hills. 

“ God , our country , and liberty ,” was the motto of each, for which they 
toiled and suffered. From their labors they now rest, while a grateful 
people, in the deep affection of their hearts, cherish their honored me¬ 
mory. Well niiiy it be said, “ How are the mighty fallen /” 

But it may be said of them, as of Abel, though dead they yet speak, both in 
tlieir noble deeds and in the prosperity of the nation. And as the ages roll 
on, and the future historian sketches the stirring events of the Revolution. 
Rebellion, and Reconstruction of this great and mighty Republic, he may 
instly weave together, in a crown of laurels, the names of Washington and 
Lincoln as the two great heroes of the nation and the age.

There is much goodness in the world, although at a superficial glance 
one is disposed to doubt it. What is bad is noised abroad, echoed back 
from side to side, and newspapers and the social circle find much to say 
about it; whilst what is good goes at best, like sunshine, quietly through 
the world.

Life Composed of Trifles. —The main of life is composed of small in¬ 
cidents and petty occurrences, of wishes for objects not remote, and grief 
for disappointments of no fatal consequence, of insect vexations which 
sting us, and fly away, and impertinences which buzz awhile about us and 
are heard no more. Thus a few pains and a lew pleasures are all tiie ma¬ 
terials of human life; and of these the proportions are partly allotted by 
Providence, and partly left to the arrangement of reason and choice. 

“ Come till America, Pat! ” writes a son of the Emerald Isle, to his 
friend in Ireland. “ Tis a tine country to get a living in. All ye have to 
do is to get a three-cornered box, and till it wid bricks, and carry it till the 
top of a "four-story building, and the man at the top does all the work.”

A Conductor, on a very slow train, took from a lady her ticket and a 
half-fare ticket of a large boy sitting by her side. The conductor measured 
the boy by his eye, and looking at his*ticket, said, “ Madam, this is rather 
a large boy to be traveling on a half-fare ticket.” “ I know he is,” said 
the lady, “ but you know he’s grown considerably since we started.” Here 
the colloquy ended,, as the conductor had business in the next car. 

The following is a true copy of a letter received by a schoolmaster near 
Montrose—“Cur, as you are a man of nolegs, 1 intend to inter my sou 
into your skull. 1 am,” &c.

Two men were riding in a stage-coach, when one of them, missing his 
handkerchief, rashly accused the other of having stolen it, but soon 
finding it, had the good manners to beg pardon for the affront, saying it 
was a mistake; to which the other replied, with great readiness and kind 
feeling—“ Don’t be uneasy ; it was a mutual mistake ; you took me for a 
thief, aud I took you for a gentleman.”

An old toper, in the last stages of the dropsy, was told by his physi¬ 
cian that nothing could save nim but being tapped. His little son 
objected to this operation, saying, “ Daddy, daddy ! don’t let him, for 
you know there never was anything ‘ tapped ’ in this house that lasted 
more than a week.” 

Coleridge was acknowledged to be a bad rider. One day, riding 
through a street, he was accosted by a would-be wit:—“ I say, do yon 
know what happened to Balaam ? ” Came the answer, sharp and quick* 
“ The same as happened to me, An ass spoke to him ! ” 


THE poet’s IDEA OF AN INDEPENDENT MAN. 

Be thou like the old apostles ; 

Be thou like heroic Paul, 

If a free thought seeks expression, 
Speak it boldly ! speak it all! 

Face thine enemies—accusers ; 

Scorn the prison, rack or rod ! 

And if thou nast truth to utter, 

Speak! and leave the rest to God,

“ At a religious anniversary in England, a few years ago, a very excel¬ 
lent but eccentric clergyman was called on to close the meeting with 
prayer; and as the exercises had been protracted to an unusually late 
nour, and many of the audience had already left the house from excessive 
fatigue,he was to offer a short prayer, which he did in the words follow¬ 
ing : Oh, Lord, forgive the tediousness of the speakers and the weariness 
of the hearers. Amen.” 

Truth. —The temple of truth is built indeed of stones of crystal, but, 
inasmuch as men have been concerned in reariner it, it has been consolida¬ 
ted by a cement composed of baser materials. It is deeply to be lamented 
that truth herself will attract little attention, and less esteem, until it be 
amalgamated with some particular party, persuasion, or sect; un mixed 
and unadulterated, it too often proves as unfit for currency as pure gold 
for circulation. Sir Walter Raleigh has observed, that he that follows 
truth too closely has little to fear from truth, but he has much to fear 
from the pretended friends of it. He, therefore, that is dead to all the 
smiles and to all the frowns of the living, alone is equal to the hazardous 
task of writing a history of his own times, worthy of being transmitted 
to times that are to come.

Franklin Asking for AVork. —When a youth, Franklin went to Lon¬ 
don, entered a printing office, and inquired if he could get employment. 

“ AVhere are you from ? ” asked the foreman. 

“ America,” was the reply. 

“Ah,” said the foreman/ 1 ' from America! A lad from America seek¬ 
ing employment as a printer ! Weil, do you really understand the art of 
printing ? Can you set type'(” 

Franklin stepped up to one of the cases, and in a very brief space of 
time, set up the following passage from the first chapter of John : 

“ Nathaniel saith unto him, Can any good thing come out of Nazareth ? 
Philip saith unto him, Come and see.” 

It was done so quickly, so accurately, and contained a delicate repreo* 
so appropriate and powerful, that it at once gave him character and stand¬ 
ing with all in the office. 

Gilbert Stewart, the celebrated portrait painter, is said to have, onto 
upon a time, met a lady in the street in Boston, who hailed him with— 
“Ah, Mr. Stewart, I have just seen your likeness, and kissed it, because 
it was so much like you.” 

“ And did it kiss you in return ? ” 

“ AVhy, no.” 

“ Then,” said Stewart, “ it was not like me.” 

This is said to have been the original, probably, of General Mott.a' 
tl Miniature.”

RULES FOR DETECTING COUNTERFEIT MONEY. 

Examine the vignette or picture in the middle of the top; see if the 
sky or background looks clear, transparent, soft and easy, and not 
scratchy. 

Examine well the faces, see if the expression is distinct and easy, na¬ 
tural and life-like—particularly the eyes. 

See if the drapery, or dress, fits well—looks natural and easy—shows 
the folds distinctly. 

Examine the medallion, ruling, heads, and circular ornaments around 
the figures, &c. See if they are regular, smooth, and uniform, not 
scratchy. This work, in the genuine, looks as if raised on the paper, and 
is very seldom successfully imitated. 

Examine the principal line of letters, or name of the Bank. See if 
they are all upright, perfectly true and even; or if sloping, of a uniform 
slope. 

Carefully examine the shading, or parallel ruling, on the face or outside 
of the letters, &c.—see if it is clear, or looks as if colored with a brush. 
The fine and parallel lines, in the genuine, are of equal size, smooth and 
even. Thompson's Reporter.

Do not be discoxiraged by disappointments—rather let them nerve you 
on to renewed action. If Columbus had given way or relaxed his efforts 
under the influence of the frequent disappointments that befel him, ho 
would never have lifted

INFERENCES OF Dr. BEAUMONT. 

1. Animal and farinaceous aliments are more easy of digestion than vege¬ 

tables. 

2. Digestion is hastened by minuteness of division and tenderness of 

fibre. Ilence, thorough mastication for weak stomachs. 

3. That, the principles of aliments being always the same, the chyle 

from vegetable and animal food is exactly the same. 

4. The quantity of food generally taken, is more than the system 

requires. 

5. That solid food of certain texture is easier of digestion than fluid. 

6. That stimulating condiments are injurious to the healthy stomach. 

7. That continued, use of ardent spirits always produces disease of the 

stomach. 

8. That hunger is the effect of the distension of the vessels that secrete 

the gastric juice. 

9. That the temperature of the stomach is 100° Fahrenheit. 

10. That the operation of the gastric juice disolves the food and alters 

its properties. 

11. That the gastric juice coagulates albumen, and always dissolves the 

coagula. 

12. That the gastric liquor is clear, fluid, salt, and acid—when pure, 

suffers no change by keeping. 

13. That gentle exercise facilitates digestion. 

14. That water, ardent spirits, and most fluids are not affected by the 

gastric juice, but disappear from the stomach soon ufter being 
received’ into it. 

—From experiments of Dr. Beaumont, on a man named St. Martin, who 
by a gun-shot wound which left an aperture, or cavity, into the stomach, 
exhibited all the phenomena of digestion. 


The muscles of a human jaw exert a force of 534 lbs. 


Two editors and proprietors of a paper, by the name of Carpenter, 
being absent from the office, a notice appeared in the paper as follows, 
“WANTED immediately at this office two carpenters , to whom constant 
employment and good wages will be given.” 

When the chairman of the Philadelphia delegation which renominated 
Mr. Lincoln to the Presidency, called at the White House the day after, 
ho introduced to him Mr. A.B. Sloamnaker, an artist. As an evidence of 
his friendship to the President, the chairman said, “Mr. S. has presented 
our League with a beautiful portrait of yourself.” Mr. Lincoln, shaking 
the hand of Mr. S., kindly and earnestly said, with a merry smile, “ I pre¬ 
sume, sir, in painting your beautiful portrait you took your idea ot me 
from my principles, and not from my person.” 

“ Daddy - ,” said an urchin, “ why is Smith’s liquor-shop like a counter¬ 
ed bill ?—Because you can’t pass it without trembling.” 

“ I’ll die for the flag,” cried a treasury clerk ; 

Quoth a soldier, “ My patriot friend, look here: 

This shedding your blood for twelve dollars a month 
An’t like shedding red ink for twelve hundred a year.”

REMARKS ON THE INHABITANTS OF THE EARTH. 

Thk Globe is now pressed with the.feet of at least 1,000.000.000 people Of 
these it is estimated 333,333,333, on an average die every year, 91,824 every day, 
B,730 every hour, 60 every minute, and one every second. These are balanced 
with an equal number of births. 

One quarter die before 7 years, and one half before 17. To every 1,000 per¬ 
sons, only one reaches 100 years ; to every 100, only 6 reaches 65, and to every 
500 onlj' one reaches SO years. Deaths are the most frequent between Ihe hours 
of 3 and 6 in the morning, and the least frequent between 10 and 3 mid-day. 
In Great Britain, in 22 years of war there were 19,796 killed and 79,709 wound¬ 
ed, giving an annual average of St9 killed and 3,623 wounded. In two years, 
1848-9, there were 72,180 persons died of cholera and diarrhoea in England and 
Wales, and 144,360 attacked ; 34.000 of those who died were able-bodied per¬ 
sons, able to earn a living. Besides these deaths by the great epidemic 115,000 
died anually of preventible disease, while 11,419 died by violence.

THE HEAVENLY WORLD. 

Gen. Mitchell, the great astronomer, closed one of his lectures as 
follows: 

“Light traverses space at the rate of a million miles a minute, yet 
the light from the nearest star requires ten years to reach the earth, and 
Herschel’s telescope revealed stars 2,300 times further distant. The great 
telescope of Lord Posse pursued these creations of God still deeper into 
space, and having resolved the nebula? of the Milky Way into stars, dis¬ 
covered other systems of stars—beautiful diamond points glittering 
through the black darkness beyond. When lie beheld this amazing 
abyss—when he saw these systems scattered profusely throughout 
space—when he reflected upon their immense distance, their enormous 
magnitude, and the countless millions of worlds that belonged to them, it 
seemed to him as though the wild dream of the German poet was more 
than realized : 

“ God called man in his dream into the vestibule of heaven, saying, 
‘ come hither, and 1 will show thee the glory of my house.’ And to his 
angels who stood about his throne he said, ‘take him, strip him of his 
robes of flesh; cleanse him of his affections ; put a new breath into his 
nostrils, but touch not his human heart’—the heart that fears, and hopes, 
and trembles. A moment, and it was done, and the man stood ready for 
his unknown voyage. Under the guidance of a mighty angel, with sounds 
of the flying pinions, they sped away froth the battlements of heaven. 
Some time on the mighty angel’s wings, they fled through saharas of 
darkness—wildernesses of death. At length, from a distance not counted 
save in the arithmetic of heaven, a light beamed upon them—a sleepy 
flame, as seen through a hazy cloud. In a moment, the blazing suns 
around them—a moment, the wheeling of planets ; then came long eter¬ 
nities of twilight; then, again, on the right hand and the left, appeared 
more constellations. At last, the man sank down, crying, ‘ Angel, l can 
go no further ; let me lie down in the grave, and hide’myself from the in¬ 
finitude of the universe, for end there is none.’ ‘End is there none?’ 
demanded the angel. And from the glittering stars that shone around 
there came a choral shout, ‘ End there is none! End there is none ! ’ ”

Sound Sentiment.— Liberty is a sweet word. Patriots love it, and 
poets sing it. But there is no true liberty where there is wilful.sin—none 
where there is not a perfect state of independence of all intentional 
wickedness—none where there is not self-respect. 

The greater the difficulty, the more glory there is in surmounting it; 
skilful pilots gain their reputation from storms and tempests. 

Conversation is a very serious matter. There are men with whom an 
hour's talk would weaken more than a day’s fasting.

THE SEVEN WONDERS OF THE WORLD. 

“ Virtue alone outbuilds the pyramids; 

Her monuments shall stand when Egypt’s fall.” 

1. Pyramids. —Found only in Egypt. Stand on rocks near the base of 
Rome high mountain which bounds the river Nile. The first one was 
commenced, it is supposed, about 1,500 years b. c. The largest 461 ft. 
perpendicular height, base 746 ft., 32 ft. square on the top. "Occupies 11 
acres of ground, and its large blocks of stone are a more marvelous result 
of human labor than has beep found on the earth. It is estimated at 
82,111,000 cubic ft. of masonry, weight of stone 6,316,000 tons. 100,000 
men were at work at one time, who were changed for fresh hands once in 
3 months. The foundation was laid on the solid rock, sometimes cut down 
10 ft. deep. 

2. Mausoleum. —In Halicarnassus, a city of Asia Minor, about 380 
b. c. It was subject to independent Carian princes. The most famed 
of them was Mausolus whose wife was the youthful Artemisia. He died 
in 353 b. c., and his wife caused a beautiful monument to be built over 
his grave. It was rectangular, with 36 Ionic columns surmounted l>y a 
pyramid with 24 steps, upon the summit of which was the marble quad¬ 
riga with a colossal statue of Mausolus. It was standing in the 12th cen¬ 
tury and was overthrown by an earthquake, or destroyed by lightning. 
Erom the long buried ruins the statue of Mausolus has of late been re¬ 
covered, in 63 pieces, and is nearly complete. 

3. Temple of Diana. —At Ephesus, one of the 12 Ionian cities of Asia. 
425 ft. long and 220 ft. wide. Roof supported by 128 columns 60 ft. high, 
the gift of a king. The goddess was of ivory with exquisite golden or¬ 
naments. On the night of the birth of Alexander, 356 b. c., it was burnt 
by Erostratus for the sole object, avowedly, of immortalizing his name. 
Ephesus was visited by St. Paul in 54, and was the seat of one of the 
seven churches in Asia. Not a vestige of this magnificent temple now 
remains. 

4. Colossus at Rhodes. —A brazen statue, erected to the tutelary deity 
Apollo. Chares of Lindus commenced the work and spent the whole 
amount intrusted to him before it was half done. He committed suicide, and 
the work was finished by Laches. It was 12 years building, and cost 300 
talents ($316,677). It was cast in pieces and soldered together. It was 
70 cubits high, hollow, with winding stair-case to the head, from which 
Asia Minor could be seen. After standing 56 years, it was thrown down 
by an earthquake, 224 b. c., and lay 9 centuries. It was then sold to a 
Jew. It weighed 720,000 lbs., and loaded 900 camels. 

5. Hanging Gardens of Babylon. —They were constructed by the- 
king, for the gratification of Amytes, his queen, who longed for the

fastened large bells, which could bo heard at a great distance.

CASKET OF JEWELS. 

Our own company we cannot avoid; we should make it as good as 
possible. 

Murmur not. Are ills reparable, ’tis ungrateful ; if remediless, ’tie 
vain. 

A Nation’s character is the sum of its splendid deeds. 

Of all fields, beneficence yields the greatest harvest. 

Peace and virtue, like the evening star and sun, are never far apart. 

Many friends are like sundials, only useful in fair weather. 

Natural desires are limited to sufficiency. 

What is joy ?—A sunbeam between two clouds. 

Free sorrow opens the bosom to the sweetest sunshine. 

When we rise above our fellows, our head is a mark for their missiles. 

Be courteous to all, intimate with few, and let that few be well tried. 

Better bend the neck, than bruise the forehead. 

Genius is the gold in the mine. Talent is the miner who brings it 
forth. 

Talent, like beauty, to be pardonable, must be obscure. 

Believe but half the ill, and credit twice the good said of your 
neighbor. 

Woe to him who smiles not over a cradle, and weeps not over a tomb. 

One sin may shut us out of heaven, but 10,000 virtues cannot bring 
us there. 

No one has measured the power of kindness, for it is boundless. No 
man has witnessed its death, for it is eternal. 

Virtue is like a rich stone, best when plainest set. 

We are apt to see the clouds that hang over us, forgetting the clear 
blue sky beyond them. < * 

Idleness is the mint where mischief is coined. 

Woman lost us one paradise, but makes us another. 

Envy is the baneful admission of self-inferiority. 

Strong passions are a tremendous power when curbed and governed 
by strouger reason. 

God gives every bird its food, but does not throw it into the nest. 

Have the courage to obey your Maker, at the risk of being ridiculed 
by man. 

Two hard things:—First, to talk of yourself without being vain. 
Second, to talk of others without slander. 

The grand essential of happiness in this life is something to hope for, 
and something to love. 

The long head is never headlong. 

Little graves—the footprints of angels. 

Of all monarchs Nature makes the best laws, and is surest to punish 
cheir violation. 

Many friends are like the shadow, which follows you only while the 
sun shines. 

Flowers are the children of sunshine and showers. 

Many of the waves of trouble, like those of the ocean, will, if we 
await them calmly, break at our feet and disappear. 

A good fanner is known by his fences, and a villain by his off nees. 

Our actions are in our power ; our destiny is in that ot Providenoe. 

Imitation is the homage stupidity pays to genius. 

A man without virtue, ever envieth virtue in others.

“DO YOU LOVE LITTLE GIRLS?” 

A happy couple in the cars, at midnight, -were rejoicing in the pos¬ 
session of a carpet bag, 2 band-boxes, a basket, and bundle, and a little 
sleeping cherub of about 3 years. Two rough, care-worn men, half asleep, 
looking as if they had been on board a month, occupied the next seat in 
the rear. Suddenly the little one awoke, and climbed up and looked over 
the back of the seat, and fixing her great curious eyes upon the men, she 
scanned them both, like a young physiognomist. Presently one of the 
men looked at her, when instantly her little voice piped out, breaking the 
silence of the hour, “ Does you love little girls ? ” 

The man looked at her gruffly a moment, and said, “ No , 1 don't! ” 

A shade of surprise and disappointment flashed over her countenance, 

E assing quickly away, when she said, “Yes, you do.” The man roused 
itnself and took another look ; he was evidently puzzled and interested, 
and said he, “ How do you know I do?” 

She replied, “ ’Cause, you look as if you did.” This thawed out the 
man, and he said, “ I've got a little girl at home.” 

The little querist now felt she was on the right track, and with a 
look that gave evidence that she had caught a ray of light, she continued. 
“ Does you love your little girl? ” Yes. “ Is she a real good little girl ? ” 
Sometimes she is. “Is she naughty sometimes ? ” Yes. “ Does she go 
down in the kitchen when she hadn’t ought to ? ” Yes, sometimes. “ Do 
you whip your little girl when she is naughty?” Sometimes. “ Does she 
cry when you tell her she is naughty ? ” Yes'. “ Then do yon whip her ? ” 
Sometimes. “ When she says she is sorry, do you whip her then?" No, 
never !—The little creature’s eyes danced and sparkled at this, and drawing 
conclusions, no doubt, from her own experience, she exclaimed, “ Ts real 
glad, I is!" Then looking at the other man, who had refused to answer 
one of her questions, she said to her newly-made friend, “ That man 
won’t speak to me; * does he love little girls ?'’ The man had a heart some¬ 
where, and this question reached and melted it, and extending his brawny 
hand, he said, 11 Dow do you do, sissy t ” And the little creature, not alto¬ 
gether at ease, replied, “ l’s pretty well, how is you ? ” 

At this the parents, and nearly all in the cars, were moved to tears, 
when one of the rough men was heard to say to his traveling comrade, 
“ She's a little witch ! ” And so she was. 

CONCLUSIVE ARGUMENT. 

A minister being accused of violently dragging his wife from a revival 
meeting, argued the case as follows: 

1. 1 never influenced my wife in her views, or choice of meeting. 

2. My wife has not attended any revival meeting. 

3. I have not been to any of those meetings for any purpose. 

4. Neither my wife nor myself had any inclination to attend thoso 
meetings. 

5. I never had a wife. 

THREE THURSDAYS IN ONE WEEK. 

Let a vessel sail round the -world, and enter port on Thursday, accord¬ 
ing to her reckoning. The next day let the crew go ashore, and'it will be 
Thursday on the land. Let them board a ship the next day, tluft has 
sailed round the world m the opposite direction, and it will be Thursday 
on board, according to their reckoning.—So says a scientific writer: is he 
right ? 


THE PICKED GEESE. 


Some stray geese picked up some brandied cherries, which soon pros* 
tralcd them as dead. The children ran in haste, sayinar, “ Mother ! mother. 
all the geese are dead/” “Dead!” said the mother, “well, I’ll save the 
feathers at least.” So she picked them clean of feathers, down and all, 
from bill to wing tips. Next morning, a bleak morning in November, the 
geese had come to life and were shivering with cold. They were alive, but 
pic/ced. 

Young man, beware of anything which may lead to inebriation, lest 
some bleak day in the future you may wake to find yourself alive , but 
picked. 

ENVY. 

An envious man’s life is inverted. The objects which produce the 
highest satisfaction in others, give him the keenest pang. The per¬ 
fection of his neighbours is odious. Youth, beauty, wisdom, or valor, 
provoke his displeasure. What a wretched state! Offended at excel¬ 
lence, and hating those he can but. approve. lie is not only incapable of 
rejoicing in the merit of another, but lives, where all mankind are in a 
plot against his quiet, by his studying their happiness. 

HOW TO STUDY. 

Take nothing for granted. Investigate, examine, dissect, analyze, and 
never rest till the point is proved. It will consume time at present, but 
save time in the future. Study nature rather than books, things rather 
than words. Consider nothing a trifle, and take notes of your observa¬ 
tions. Keep up a good resolution, have faith in what you are pursuing, 
and work earnestly. 


LABEL FOR A BOOK. 

This book is the property of- 

If ever borrowed by a friend, 

Right welcome may he be 

To read, to study, (not to lend,) 

For the book belongs to me. 

Not that imparted knowledge, doth 
Diminish learning’s store; 

But books, I find , if often lent, 

Return to me no more. 

Read slowly, pause frequently, think seriously, 

Return QuicKLr, without the leaves turned down. 

A SHARP RETORT. 

A minister who was greatly troubled to get bis quarterly instalments 
of a very small salary , at last said to the steward, “ Irnust have my money, 
for my familv are suffering for it.” 

“Money!” said the other, “I thought yon preached for souls?” 
“ Souls ! ” replied the minister, “ wo can’t live on souls; and if we could, 
it would take a thousand such souls as yours to make a meal.” 

To cure Redundancy, require the man to write Advertisements and 
pay for them. 



ICO 


EPITAPH. 

On a tomb in Europe is tins inscription : 

“What I spent, 1 had; what I kept, I have lost; 
what I gave away, I saved.” 

The Roman sentry had this motto : “ Let posterity, when the storm is 
over, find our skeleton and armor on the spot where duty required us tc 
stand.”—Let this be the motto of every man and every Christian. 

MOTHERS. 

“What is wanting,” said Napoleon, “that the youth of France bo 
well educated?” “Mothers!” replied Madame Cam pan. This reply 
struck the Emperor forcibly. “Here,” said lie, “is a system of education 
in a single word.” Be it your care, then, to train up mothers who shall 
know how to educate their children. 

' CHEAP WORK. 

“ What does Satan pay you for swearing?” said a man to his neighbor* 
“ Nothing,” said the other. “ You work cheap,” said the man. “To lay 
aside the character of a gentleman ; to inflict so much pain on friends nn;l 
all civil people; to sutler such pangs of conscience, and risk the final 
1 >ss of the soul, all lor nothing, is certainly very cheap work , indeed!' 1 ' 1 

FLOWERS. 

Flowers are not trifles, as one might know from the pains God hai 
taken with them everywhere. Not one of them is unfinished, not on.) 
bears the marks of the brush or pencil. Fringing the eternal borders o)* ( 
mountain winters, gracing the pulseless breast of the old gray granite, 
everywhere they are harmonizing.—Murderers do not ordinarily wear 
roses in their button-holes. Villains seldom train vines over the cottagi 
door. 

A DROP OF DEW. 

A dew-drop falling on the ocean wave, 

Exclaim’d m fear, “ I perish in this grave ! ” 

But in a shell received, that drop of dew 
Unto a pearl of marvelous beauty grew; 

And, happy now, the grace did magnify 
Which thrust it forth—as it had feared—to die; 

Until again, “ I perish quite,” it said, 

Torn by rude diver from its ocean bed. 

Oh, unbelieving ! So it came to gleam, 

Chief jewel in a monarch’s diadem. 

RECEIPT FOR A POPULAR LECTURE. 

Take one drop of thought, beat it up to a bushel of bubbles, and 
throw rainbows on it for one hour. 

A celebrated physician, in his will, ordered all his medical works to be 
burned, except one large sealed volume, which was to be opened, and 
publicly presented to his pupils, after the burning. When the seal was 
broken, it was found that all the leaves were blank except the last, ou 
which was written in letters of gold, 

Head oool; Feet warm; Boweis open.

PROBLEM. 

To three-fourths of a cross add a circle complete, 

Let two semi-circles a perpendicular meet, 

Next add a triangle that stands on two feet, 

Then two semi-circles and a circle complete. 

The Answer is often the stepping-stone to Intemperance. 

Heart Disease. —A noted miser having been moved to give a poor 
beggar a sixpence and suddenly dying soon after, the doctor gave his 
opinion, “died of enlargement of the heart.” 

Modern Girls —Are truly “labor-saving machines”—saving all the 
labor by doing nothing. 

The Christian has three eyes. 1. Sense , common to brutes. 2. Reason, 
common to all men. 3. Faith , proper to his profession. Each of them 
look beyond the other and do not intermeddle. The eye of Sense does 
not reach to intelligible things, nor the eye of Reason to the spiritual and 
supernatural, and Faith does not look down to things that may be sensibly 
seen. 

Salvation by Works. —Our salvation depends on three classes of 
works. 1. God's work , without our co-operation ; such as Christ’s death, 
the Bible, and the Holy Spirit. These are called unconditional benefits. 
2. God's work , promised on certain conditions. These are conditional be¬ 
nefits. 3. Our own acts , independent of any intermediate help from God, 
such as he requires of us by command—as Repent, Believe, Ac. 

A blacksmith having been slandered, was advised to sue the offender. 
Said he, “I can hammer out a better character in my shop in 6 months 
than I can get in the courts in a year.” 

West Point and tiie War. —Prof. Mahan of West Point, denying 
the assertion that West Point has been a disloyal institution, states, that 
when the war broke out, 820 graduates were living, of whom only 190 
joined the rebels. Of these, 173 were from the Southern states; while 
133 graduates from the Southern states remained loyal. 

New York State Inebriate Asylum. —Up to 1864, there had been 
7,245 applications from every State in the Union, and from Europe, Mex¬ 
ico, ana the British Provinces, 520 of whom where opium eaters. There 
were 39 clergymen, 8 judges, 197 lawyers, 226 physicians, 840 merchants, 
630 mechanics, 466 farmers, 240 gentlemen, ana 805 women. Patients at 
this asylum are received for not less than a year, are watched, controlled, 
and medically treated. The expectation is that at least seventy per cent, 
will be radically cured. The names of 1,800 rich men’s daughters are on 
the list of applicants. 

A little girl was saying her prayers, when aroguish little brother came 
behind her and pulled'her hair. Without moving her head, she paused, 
and said, “ Please, Lord, excuse me a minute, while I kick Freddy.”— 
Do not older persons sometimes excuse themselves from praying, to kick 
somebody ?

APOSTROPHE TO WATER. 

Paul Denton, a missionary in Texas, made a barbecue, in the grove, 
cr strangers. When the smoking viands were ready, and the throng, 
consisting of hunters, gamblers, and homicides, were just about to com¬ 
mence the sumptuous repast, the voice of the missionary pealed forth, 
like the blast of a trumpet in battle : “ Stay, ladies and gentlemen, till the 
giver of the larhacue asks God's blessing ! ” Though but thirty years of 
sge, he was almost a giant in stalnro; with hair dark as the raven’s wing, 
flowing in massive ringlets down his immense shoulders ; his eyes black 
as midnight, beamed like stars over a face pale as Parian marble ; enhn, 
passionless, spiritual, and wearing a singular, indefinable expression. The 

I miyer, unlike any other, sounded like the cry of a naked beggar for the 
>read of life, and water of salvation. The prayer closed, and the faces of 
hundreds were wet with tears. “ Now, my friends,” said the missionary, 
in tones of sweetness and kindness impossible to describe, and which at 
once made him five hundred friends, “ partake of God’s gifts, and then 
come and listen to the Gospel.” But one heart, Col. Watt Forman, was 
maddened by the preacher’s wonderful power, and in a sneering voice lie 
said: “ Air. Paul Denton, your reverence has lied. You promised ns not 
only a good barbecue, but better liquor. Where is your liquor?” 
“ there ! ” said the missionary in tones of thunder, pointing his finger at 
the matchless double spring, gushing up in two strong columns from the 
bosom of the earth. “ There!'''' he repeated, with a look terrible as light¬ 
ning, while his enemy actually trembled'at his feet. “ There is the liquor, 
which God, the Eternal, brews for all his children. Not in the simmer¬ 
ing still, over smoky fires, choked with poisonous gases, and surrounded 
by the stench of sickening odors and rank corruption; but in the green 
glade and grassy dell, where the red deer wanders and where the child 
loves to play. There God himself brews it. And down in the deep valley, 
where the fountains murmur, and the-rills sing, and high on the moun¬ 
tain top, where the naked granite glitters like gold in the sun, where the 
storm clouds brood, and the thunder tones crash; and away far out on 
the wide, wide sea, where the hurricane howls music, and the big waves 
roar the chorus, sweeping the march of God. Ihere he h'eus it —that bev¬ 
erage of life—the health-giving water. And everywhere it is a thing of 
beauty ; gleaming in the dewdrop, singing in the summer rain, shiniug in 
the ice gem, till the trees all seem turned into living jewels—spreading a 
golden veil over the setting sun, or a white gauze around the midnight 
moon; sporting in the cataract, sleeping in the glacier, dancing in the 
rain shower; folding its white snowy curtains around the wintry world, 
and weaving the many-colored iris, that seraph zone of the sky, whose 
woof is the sunbeam of heaven, and checkered over with celestial flowers 
by the mystic hand of refraction. Still, always it is beautiful—that blessed 
life water ! No poison bubbles on its brink ; its foam brings not madness 
and murder; no blood stains its liquid glass; pale widows and starving 
orphans weep not bitter tears in its clear depths; no drunkard's 
shrieking ghost, from the grave, curses it in words of eternal despair. 

Speak out, my friends, would you exchange it for the demon’s drink, 
Alcohol ?" A shout, like the roar of a tempest, answered, No ! 1! 


Self Government. —When we are alone we have our thoughts to 
watch; in the family, our tempers ; in company, our tongues. 

To disperse a mob, pass around the contribution-box.

FREE MASONRY. 

This Society is ancient and obscure. Some place its origin coeval with the 
creation. Others in the religious mysteries of the ancient world. In the year 
1044, e. c., King Solomon requested Hiram, King of Tyre, to aid him in building 
the Temple. For this purpose workmen,from an association of architects formed 
for buildmg churches, &c.. under the title of the Dionysiac Fraternity, were sent 
to Jerusalem with a widow’s son at their head. To this band is ascribed the 
origin of Freemasonry. Masonic writers abound in allusions to Solomon's temple, 
and the Masonic rituals are based on the above theory. 

Dr. Henry, in his History of Great Britain, gives the following account:—some 
Italians and Greek refugees, with Frenchmen, Germans and Flemings, formed 
a fraternity of architects, procuring papal bulls for their encouragement, styling 
themselves free Masons. They ranged from one country to another where large 
buildings were to be erected, and encamped round the edifice during its construc¬ 
tion. A surveyor governed as Chief, and every 10th man had charge of 9 others. 
They built the Convent of Batalha, in Portugal, the Cathedrals of Strasbourg and 
Cologne, and the Castle of Kilwinning, which afterward became the cradle of 
Scotch Masonry. In Italy they were known as Colleges of Architects; in i- ranee 
they were styled Free Corpora ions; and in Great Britain Free Masons. 

Gradually the operative character of the Order was lost in the speculative, 
till, in the 18th century Masonic privileges were extended to persons not prac¬ 
tical builders, which brought in many prominent characters. The first lodge in 
the U. S. opened iu 1778. There is now a Grand Lodge in every State. That 
of N. Y. State is in N. Y. City; R. D. Holmes, Grand Master. Dr. J. M. Austin, 
Grand Secretary. 


INDEPENDENT ORDER OF ODD FELLOWS. 

The true history of Odd Fellowship is as follows At the close of the ISth 
century an association of mechanics and laborers existed in London, calling them¬ 
selves Ancient, Honorable and Loyal Odd Fellows. In the year 1788 James 
Montgomery wrote a song for a London lodge, comtjiencing with— 

“Where friendship, love and truth abound,” 
which is still current among the lodges of the Order. In the year 1S09 attempts 
were made to reform its character, which failed, and in 1813 several lodges seceded 
and formed the Independent Order of Odd Fellows. The Order owes its origin in 
the United States to Thomas Wildey, an English blacksmith, who, with four 
others, instituted the Washington Lodge, No. 1. at Baltimore, April 26, 1819. The 
organization of the Order bears a general resemblance to that of Freemasonry. 
Their motto is Friendship. Love and Truth. 

The present number of Lodges in the world is 3‘67, with about 250.000 mem¬ 
bers, all subordinate to the Grand Lodge of the United States, which meets 
annually, in September, in the city of Baltimore, Maryland. They have an 
official organ. “The American Odd Fellow,” a monthly magazine, published iu 
New York City, by John W. Orr. 

The present officers of the Grand Lodge of the United States are :—Isaac M. 
Veitch, of Missouri, Grand Sire; Janies P. Sanders, of Now York, Deputy Grand 
Sire; James L. Eidgeley, of Maryland. Grand Secretary; Joshua Vansant, of 
Maryland, Grand Treasurer; Rev. j. D. Williamson, of Ohio, Grand Chaplain. 

-- 

THE SONS OF TEMPERANCE. 

This Order was originated by J. W. & I. J. Oliver, and a few others, for a 
Shield against Intemperance, Mutual Assistance, and Elevation of Character. On 
the 29th of September, 1S42, sixteen persons met at Teetotalers’ HaM, and 
organized N. Y. Division, No. 1. At subsequent meetings bye-laws were estab¬ 
lished. officers installed, forms of initiation presented, and on the 2Sth of October, 
1S43, the regalia was adopted. 

The first Grand Division was organized January 9. 1S43, and the following 
year six Grand Divisions were chartered. On the 17th of June, 1844, the National 
division, the supreme power of the Order, was organized in Columbian Hall, 
New York City. The motto of the Sons of Temperance is Love, Purity and 
Fidelity, symbolized by the Red, White and Blue. The present prospects of 
too Order, Novomber, 1865, are very encouraging. Whole number of member* 
Initiated since the organization of the Order 1,800,000.

ODDS AND ENDS. ? 

A PERFECT BOOK. 

An attempt was once made, in Glasgow, to publish a work which should be a 
perfect specimen of typographical accuracy. Six experienced proof-readers read 
the proofs with great care. Each page was then posted in the hall of the Uni¬ 
versity for two weeks,with a reward offered of j£50 to any one who would discover 
an error. When the book was printed several errors were detected, one of 
which was in the first line of the first page. 

NUMBER OF BOOK3. D'Israeli, in his “ Curiosities of Literature states 
that the four ages of typography have produced 3,641,96J different works. Es¬ 
timating cacti at three volumes, and three hundred impressions, would make, 
from the presses of Europe alone, up to 1816, nearly 3,360,1106,1,00 volumes. 

TRANSLATION OF THE BIBLE. In 1603, King James appointed fifty- 
four men of learning and piety to revise the translation of the Bible. Forty- 
seven of them undertook the work, and in four years it was completed. It is 
now the authorized version. 

I. H 8. These letters have had assigned to them the following significations : 
Jesus Hominum Salvator ; Jesus the Saviour of men ; or, In Hoc Salus, In Him 
is Salvation. Inri. This word stands for Jesus Nazarenus Rex Judaeorum ; 
the inscription over the Cross. 

THE WEDDING-RING. There have been various conjectures concerning 
the finger for the wedding-ring. The most rational idea is convenience. 1st. It 
is placed on the left hand, as it is less used. 2nd. This finger is not only less 
used but cannot easily be used alone, and the ring is thus well guarded. 

ORIGIN OF 101 GUNS. When Maximilian returned to Germany, from a 
successful campaign, 100 rounds of cannon were ordered on the reception of the 
monarch. The officer on duty, fearing he might have neglected one, ordered 
another gun for the purpose of making it sure. 

UNLUCKY FRIDAY. Columbus sailed on his voyage of discovery on Fri¬ 
day ; discovered land on Friday ; sailed, and reached home on Friday, and on 
his second voyage discovered the continent of America on Friday. John Cabot 
received his commission from Henry the VIII. for a voyage of discovery on 
Friday. The May Flower, with the Pilgrims, made the harbor of Provincetown 
and signed the Compact, the forerunner of our Constitution, on Friday. The 
Pilgrim Fathers landed on Plymouth Rock on Friday. George Washington 
was born on Fridav. Bunker Hill was seized and fortified by Americans on 
Friday. Saratoga surrendered on Friday. Arnold’s treason was exposed on 
Friday. Cornwallis surrendered on Friday ; and the motion for the Independ¬ 
ence.of the U. S. was made in Congress on Friday. Let no American then fear 
to commence a great work on Friday. 

TO PREVENT DROWNING. Remember that the body is lighter than 
•water, and will float. Make as little exertion as possible. Water cannot enter 
the ears so as to drown the person. Hence all that is necessary, is to keep the 
mouth and nose out of water. Keep the hands under ; no part of the body 
should be out of water but the face, which must be. When a body is floating, 
every wave must pass over it, but it will soon reappear, which is the time for 
breathing. Keep the chest as fu.l of air as possible, which is like tying a blad¬ 
der round the neck, and will cause nearly the whole head to rise above the wa¬ 
ter. Follow these hints and you can float like a spar. 

BLEEP. Persons in health need from six to eight hours sleep. It is best to 
go to sleep on the right side. After going to sleep let the body take its own po¬ 
sition. Bleep after a hearty meal often produces the sensation of falling, or be¬ 
ing chased by wild beasts. A celebrated writer on health, thinks that when the 
building falls and crushes the man, or the wild beasts overtake him, “if is 
death and there are those who eat “ heartier than common," and go to bed 
well, and die In tlioir bed. He warns to eat light suppers. 


?WEET IIOME. The words of this song were written by John Howard 
Paine, an American, who was once on the stage as an infant phenomenon, and 
died Consul from the U. 8. to Tunis. He -wrote them cn Sunday in an upper 
room in the Palais Royal at Paris. 

ANTEDILUVIANS. Allowing ten married couples to have been living at 
the end of the first century of the world ; and supposing them to have multiplied 
in a quadruple proportion for sixteen centuries ; there would have been, at the 
time of the Deluge, over 10,000,000,000 people on the earth ; about ten times as 
many as now exist. _ 

INUNDATIONS. Between A.D. 738 and 1849, over twenty great floods are 
mentioned. In Holland, by the failure of the dikes, in the year if)c0, the number 
drowned is reported at 400,000. 

EARTHQUAKES From 425 years before the Christian Era, to 1840, nearly 
100 awful, destructive, and memorable earthquakes have been reported ; where 
many cities and villages have been swallowed up at once, and hundreds of thou¬ 
sands of lives have been destroyed. In China, A.D. 1662, 300,0' 0 persons were 
sw'alknved up in Pekin alone. One in Syria, in 742, buried 5u0 cities in ruins; 
and the loss of life surpassed all calculation. 

GIANTS. Emperor Maximus was 8 1-2 feet high ; Gabara, 9 feet 9 inches • 
John M iddleton, Lancashire, Eng., in 1588, 9 feet 3 inches ; Patrick Cotter, the 
Irish Giant, 8 feet 9 inches. Ills shoes were 17 inches long and bands 12 inches, 

BURNING GLASSES. With these it has been said that Achimedes fired 
the ships of the Romans. Experiments have proved that the rays of the sun 
may be so concentrated as to melt any stone or mineral, in a few seconds. These 
burning rays are proportioned to the heat of the place where they shine. When 
they meet in the galvanic flame of a large battery, the most intense heat will be 
produced. Green wood takes fire instantaneously, water boils immediately, 
bones are calcined, and things not capable of melting at once become red hot. 

BATTLES. From the Christian Era to 1848, some 300 prominent battles 
have been fought among different nations. The wars between the three great 
powers of Europe, and the great Southern Rebellion, since that time, have pro¬ 
bably produced as much fighting as all the others put together. 

NAVAL BATTLES. The first sea fight on record was between the Corinth¬ 
ians and Corcyrearis, 664 B.C From this time to A.D. 1847. there are reported 
over eighty celebrated naval battles in the old world, and about thirty in the 
United States. 

NORT11 WEST PASSAGE. From 1553 to 1850, some forty unsuccessful 
attempts have been made, by bold navigators, to discover the North West Pas¬ 
sage. 

HOLIDAYS An Act passed the Legislature of the State of New York, on 
the 18th of March. 1865, designating July 4th, Dec. 2oth, Jan 1st, Feb. 22, and 
ail fust days appointed by the Governor, or President of the U. 8., as State holt- 
days. When these days fall on Sunday, the next day will be the legal holiday, 
and the Tuesday following the day for the payment of bills falling due on 
Sunday. 

SIEGES. The longest siege on record was that of Azoth, which held out 
19 years. From the l.th century over 2 0 menunable sieges are recorded up to 
1847. 

TREATIES OF PEACE. The first formal treaty made by England was in 
1217. The chief treaties of the principal civilized nations of the world, since this 
date, amount to about 20u. 

CA$3AR’S dispatch to the Roman Senate when he had vanquished Pharnnees, 
47 years 11.G., was Veni, vidi, vici—" I came, I saw, I conquered.” 

0 YIV IKS. These singular beings migrated from India w’hen Timor Bev 
invaded the country. I;is supposed there are 5,000,000 in Europe, Asia and 
Africa. There are some 200 in America. 


INSECTS. 24,0 0 egg* of the silk-worm weighs 1-4 of an ounce. The last 
2*< days of its life it eats nothing One pound of cocoons will produce a thread 
8 S, 0<;0 fathoms in length. The wings of a gnat flap at th e rate of lft,000 times a 
second. The wings of some insects are so thin that 50,i;00 placed one above 
another, would not be over 1-4 of an inch thick. It is estimated that 4,000,- 
000 webs-of a young spider would not be larger than a hair of a man’s beard. 

ARM Y COLORS. From observation, it appears that the colors hit in bal tie 
nro in the following proportion : Red. 12 ; Rifle Green, 7 ; Brown, 6 ; Austrian 
bluish gray, 6 . 

PRIMARY POWERS These are conditions, or states ot matter; "that 
which docs wovkff as follows ; Water, wind, tide, combustion, and vital action. 
It may yet be found that the internal heat of the earth, and the volcano, is 
another. 

TEMPERATURE OF TFIK INTERIOR OF TIIE EARTH. At tho 
depth of 2.430 yards water boil* ; lead melts at 6,400 ; red heat at 7 miles ; gold 
melts at 21 miles; cast iron at 74 ; and soft iron at 97. At the depth of 100 
miles it is equal to the most intense artificial heat yet observed, capable of fusing 
platina or porcelain, and is supposed to be liquid beyond this point. The nearer 
we approach the sun the more intense the cold. 

BETWEEN the years 1080 and I860, 38 prominent monarchs of the old 
World have abdicated their thrones. 

REMARKABLE LONGEVITY. Joseph Crele was born near Detroit, 
Mich., 1725, died January 27, I 860 , n^ed 111 years His birth was 7 years before 
Washington ; 50 years old at the Revolution ; 44 years old at the birth of Napo¬ 
leon I., and 81 years old at the birth of Lincoln. A record of his baptism is in the 
French Catholic Church in Detroit. Old Parr, of England, and Henry Jenkins, 
are the only men of modern times who exceed him in longevity ; the first being 
152, and the other 169 years of age. 

REMARKABLE EVENT IN 1866. In the month of February there was 
no full moon, an event not known since the creation of the world, and, according 
to astronomical calculations, will not occur airain for two and a half millions 
of years.— Westfield News Letter, Mass. 

THE LAST CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT. The vote of the 
States on this Amendment, abolishing slavery forever in the U. States, up 10 
Nov. 18, 1865, stands thus : Delaware, Kentucky and New Jersey, against tho 
amendment, and all the other States, which had voted, in favor of it. 

THE BROOKLYN LIFE INSURANCE. COMPANY. This company, 
on the first day of Jan , 1866, declared a cash dividend to its policy-holders of 
40 per cent, to be paid at the next settlement of their annual premiums, with a 
surplus sufficient to have made it, 50 per cent. This excess stands credited to 
the assured, to be applied on future dividends, which are paid annually.

A NEW FEATURE 


IN 





All Participating Policies Non-Forfeiture. 


The Directors of this successful Institution have adopted this new 
and the most popular feature yet introduced by any Life Insurance Com¬ 
pany, which is, in making their Policies non-forfeiture; that is, wher 
the assured has paid three or more annua] premiums in cash, and desires 
to,dlscontinue paying the Annual Premium, then, upon surrender of the 
original Policy; within thirty days after default in the payment of Pre¬ 
miums, (and the party being in good health,) the Company will issue a 
paid up Policy for the whole amount paid, less the Dividends, without 
any further payments; provided the assured, at issue of the original 
Policy, did not exceed fifty years of age. 

By this liberal feature, any one insuring ill this 
Company need lose nothing on account of inability, or 
from other causes, to pay future premiums. 

The Directors deem this just and equitable; and will not 
lake advantage of the misfortunes of their 
Policy holders. This new feature does away with the greatest 
objection against the taking of a Life Policy.

There will be issued, from the publishing house of Olmsted & Welwood, 
Sun Building, Printing-House Square, opposite City Hall, N. Y., in May next, 
the first No. of the EXCELSIOR MONTHLY MAGAZINE, devoted to the 

ELEVATION OF THE RACE. 

The Publishers propose to meet a pressing want of the times, in a periodi¬ 
cal, which shall steer its course between works of pernicious fiction, and those 
of a strictly religious, denominational, and special character; presenting a woik 
which the most watchful Christian may not fear to place in the hands of his 
children, even on the Sabbath ; and at the same time, so attractive (if possi¬ 
ble), as to charm the most confirmed novel-reader. 

Our title only binds us to the elevation of man. It will be our purpose, 
therefore, to reach the very lowest stratum of society, and elevate; while to 
the most exalted character, our watchword shall be, “ Higher. 

For this purpose we propose to lay under contribution all art, science, liter¬ 
ature, and religion, appealing to every literary, scientific, and philanthropic 
association, to aid us in our lofty purpose. 

We have already secured, for the enriching of our columns, some of the , 
best talent in the land, and we cordially extend an invitation to other contrib* i 
utors. Our “field is the World.” 

The work will contain about 40 pages, unique, and, in every particular , in , 
the highest style of the art, with a beautifully engraved title-page, and one{ 
fine steel engraving in each No., and occasionally other valuable illustrations. | 


Thus much we pledge. Further than this we would, say, as a great 
of this nation once said,^jfce shall let our “acts speak, rather than words.’
